As you are probably aware of, APEX applications aren’t compiled. They are stored as metadata in a relational data model. Of course we aren’t allowed to access the tables in the APEX schema directly (e.g. APEX_050000), but APEX provides a bunch of dictionary views to read everything you want to know.

I got a questions like that in the past year on a regular basis: “do you know how to remove the Set Screen Reader Mode On link from an APEX application footer without breaking the universal theme subscription?”

Above you see an example of an Interactive Report everyone should know: this is the Application Builder listing all pages of an application.
